As any outdoor worker will know, the winter elements bring a whole new set of health and safety challenges to the work site. Wind, rain and frosty spells combine to make the task of maintaining safe conditions even more challenging, which means that additional measures must be taken in order to keep employees safe and well. 

One of the most vulnerable and exposed groups during this time, are those who work at height, who have to manage the existing risks and challenges of their operations, with additional inconveniences from the poor conditions. For this reason, we stock specialised jacket safety harnesses with this exact problem in mind, providing workers with the same level of reliable fall protection, while also keeping them warm and dry.

These products, are the perfect addition to your winter ppe kit, providing the safety features of both a high-quality harness and windbreaker jacket in one product! Take a closer look at our choices here:


This water and windproof jacket provides practical yet stylish protection from the elements, and is ideal for staying seen, even during the dark winter hours, when visibility may be poor. See it in action, and find out more here:




Just like our high visibility option, this jacket safety harness provides great protection against wind and rain, in a fashionable design that's easy to use. The black colour is not only stylish and sleek, but also makes this harness perfect for entertainment rigging!

If you follow us on Twitter, you may have noticed some very exciting goings-on over the past few weeks, as Shaun Gash set off on his inspiring ascent to the top of Kilimanjaro! 

You may remember our work with Shaun from this post back in April 2015, which was shared just after he completed a gruelling 10 kilometre, military-style obstacle course - just one of many challenges Shaun has undertaken to push his physical boundaries, while also raising money for charity. The challenges Shaun has undertaken are highly demanding, and are made all the more impressive by the fact that he has managed to achieve all of this as a T5/6 paraplegic, after suffering a car accident 24 years ago.

Before taking on the Born Survivor course, Shaun came to us with a request for a bespoke safety harness, which was used by him and his teamates to help him complete the course. We are happy to say that Shaun was obviously pleased with the equipment we provided, as we are also providing the kit for his latest endeavour!

Shaun set off on the Rongai route of Kilimanjaro on the 5th of August, and we are eagerly awaiting updates on his progress over on the Kiliwheels Twitter page!

To find out more about the challenge, and the fantastic charities being funded by this amazing feat, head over to the Kiliwheels site.

We sell a wide variety of safety harnesses here at SafetyLiftinGear, many of which are specifically designed for one particular scenario or line of work.
 
Perhaps our best-selling specialist harness range is our collection of hi-vis harnesses, and with autumn and winter just around the corner, we're expecting a huge influx of high-visibility sales over the next few months. Visibility is naturally worse during the colder months, when the weather gets worse and the mornings and evenings grow darker, and in these conditions being seen is often just as important a safety concern as protecting oneself from falls.
 
Our high-visibility safety harnesses are great because they cover both bases. Not only do they help to prevent accidents while working at height, they also increase the wearer's visibility, which is crucial in certain conditions and working environments. Here are a few examples of what we can supply...
  • 2-Point Hi-Vis Safety Harness: Available in yellow or orange.

  • Quick Release Hi-Vis Harness: Easier to put on and take off! Buy/hire here.

Great news for those of you who work at height on a regular basis: we've added a trio of fantastic new products to SafetyLiftinGear's best-selling range of Safety Harnesses. The 3 new harnesses are all available both to hire and to buy via our website - here's a quick run-down of what the new arrivals have to offer:
 

This premium rope access harness is truly top-of-the-range, with a 140kg maximum weight (roughly 309lbs) and quick release buckles that make it exceptionally easy to put on and take off. The P-73 features attachment points at the sternum and dorsal, plus wide padding at the shoulders, legs, and lower back for maximum comfort while working. You even get a pair of tool hanging loops on the waistbelt!




This is a premium 2-point harness with elasticated webbing in the legs and comfort padding in both the legs and the shoulders, all of which makes the P34EL an ideal choice for scaffolders and other workers who move around a lot!




This harness is exactly the same as the one described above, with the exception of one added feature: quick-release buckles! These make it even easier to put on and take off the harness in as little time as possible.
